The book title sounds like a cure for insomnia (and it probably was): we only post it because it is an example of a nice pattern used for the cover for a hardback book with no jacket. In those days real rather than imitation cloth was used. Also the royal blue and gold scheme is quite attractive. Publishers of fine editions still go to this sort of effort, but alas it wouldn't work for sales in downmarket bookstores.
